Answer
Use map for simple transformations, flatMap for asynchronous operations.
The map operator is used for straightforward, synchronous transformations, while flatMap is better for operations that return Publishers. In an e-commerce application, use map for converting currency values and flatMap for fetching user profiles asynchronously.
